A numbers game: Investors Group Field

Three years after the first shovels broke ground, Winnipeg's newest architectural

attraction -- with its distinctive canopies and trusses -- is finally ready for some football. Via the Winnipeg Football Club, here are some facts and figures on the new $200-million, 33,422-seat Investors Group Field at the University of Manitoba, the new home to the CFL's Blue Bombers and the Bisons (CIS):

Number of washrooms, split evenly between the two concourses and men and women

Eight feet long, eight feet wide, five feet deep

Size of players' hot tub, which features underwater treadmill and has the capacity for an underwater bike

Student Section 2.0

While there isn't a student section, per se, the Bombers are operating under the premise that Sections 138-143 -- a chunk of discounted seating in the north end zone -- will carry the old attitudes and enthusiasm of Canad Inns Stadium's most celebrated section.
